Breakfast is one of the best perks of staying at hotels, but will you have a similar experience when staying at budget-friendly hostels? This kind of accommodation operates by different rules, and here are a few things you should know if you expect a fancy breakfast at your hostel.
Not Always Available
Not all hostels offer breakfast, and it’s important to check what’s the case with the one you want to book before making a payment. Also, keep in mind that breakfast doesn’t always come for free, so check the prices and decide for yourself if it fits into your budget.
Modest Option
Even if your hostel offers breakfast, don’t expect a five-star experience. Some hostels have pretty solid food options, but you’ll mostly just get bread, butter, jam, and other basic breakfast staples. Before paying extra, carefully read reviews or ask hostel staff what to expect unless the breakfast is free.
Making Your Own
One of the great things about hostels is that most of them offer a shared kitchen these days. Even if breakfast is not offered or you don’t consider it nutritious enough, you can always make your own, instead of solely relying on a mini fridge as you do at hotels.
